if 'squares' of bittersweet chocolate aren't available, what would the equivalent be in miniature bittersweet chocolate chips (which are available) ??

PS, bittersweet and semisweet are not the same thing. I am an avid baker and visit all the specialty stores, along with regular grocery stores. I have never seen bittersweet chips. At what store do you purchase them?
